A fairly common problem recently to do with ordering and Z buffers. Transparent objects and LineArrays do not necessarily get ordered correctly by default, an optimisation thing I believe. Especially if you are antialiasing the lineArray, which effectively makes it a transparent object.
Or something like that. :) If you are using j3d1.3 there is a new option to activate transparent sorting I think in the View object (or around there). Check the archives for transparency, it's been discussed 4-5 times in the last 8 months or so.

I use textured surface (MODULATE) and it seems that only the plain beam-mesh displays as expected (the area below water completely disappear when water is set opaque (0% transparent)). LineArrays and other meshes (with transparencyattribute set) is visible . Regards, Stein-A.
